Chapter 303 The Last Chance
The court that had just calmed down was panicked by the haunting incident. Many officials who participated in the extermination of the Su family but were not sentenced were trembling. They were afraid that the next person who would accompany Prime Minister Su to drink tea and play chess would be him.

Of course, Mu Ting had heard about Su Xiang's apparition, but he let it go on and ordered the secret guards to protect the perpetrator in private, all of which were unknown to the court.

In less than five days, several ministers with bruised eyes asked for resignation at the Golden Luan Hall, talking crazily, and at the same time bitten out a lot of ministers, and said that they were justified, treating the Golden Luan Hall as noisy as a vegetable market More than that, the result was that the two officials were charged with contempt of the monarch and sentenced to ransack and exile, and those officials who were bitten were also temporarily dismissed for investigation.

"Have you heard? That old man Gu Qinglin planned to kill Su Xiang back then, not to fight for his daughter's throne as the queen, but to secretly serve Yulin, a small country, in an attempt to annex my Tianlan country's thousands of miles of land. .”

"Then Gu Changqing is actually the prince and grandson of Yulin Kingdom? No wonder he doesn't look like the Gu family."

"I heard that the Yulin Kingdom has obtained the exact location of the ancient treasure, so it dared to have such great ambitions to annex other countries. It seems that it has already begun to dig the treasure. Mutually."

All kinds of rumors spread among the people, and Su Mianyue, who was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea, turned her head to look at Ji Xun and asked, "Is this your handwriting?"

"Half and half." Ji Xun smiled slightly.

Su Mianyue rolled her eyes, and asked with interest, "Could it be that they really got the treasure? I remember that you have several fragments."

"They are the only nobles who have survived the ancient battle. It is said that there is a simple map of the treasure. However, Yulin Kingdom has always been divided into two factions. One believes that we should follow the rules of our ancestors and not touch the treasure. You should stick to the rules." Ji Xun smiled lightly, but grasped the world's information in his gentleness.

"What about you? Why don't you compete with them?" Su Mianyue was eager to try.

"If the treasure is really so easy to get, how can the map be handed down to this day?" Ji Xun said to pour cold water on Su Mianyue to wake her up.

Thinking of the map she got when she was in Hengyuan Kingdom, Su Mianyue had a complicated look in her eyes and said, "I got another one recently, and I will give it to you later."

"Okay." Ji Xun responded lightly, never taking his eyes off Su Mianyue's face, and naturally saw Su Mianyue's flashing expression just now.

After listening to everyone's discussion for a while, someone disguised as a passerby came over and whispered something in Ji Xun's ear, and Ji Xun's face changed slightly.

"What happened?" Su Mianyue asked.

"Gu Changqing ran away." Ji Xun's tone remained unchanged, but there was a murderous look in his eyes. This Gu Changqing was definitely one of the masterminds who killed the Su family, so such a person should not be kept.

The smile on Su Mianyue's pretty face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold look, but she didn't rush to act, she just sat there quietly drinking tea, but the tea in the cup was not less than one cent.

After almost half a stick of incense, Su Mianyue looked at Ji Xun and said with a smile: "Since you can know the internal information of Yulin Kingdom, you must know where Gu Changqing went, and I will leave it to you." Ah Yu."

After speaking, she closed the folding fan in her hand, and Su Mianyue quickly left the teahouse with her hands behind her back.

She has always been in the open and that person is in the dark. Now that she knows about the Gu family, that person should also know, but I don't know if he will make a move.

To Su Mianyue's disappointment, she waited outside Gu's mansion until it was dark but did not see that person coming, but Mu Ting sent Zeng Shuo, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to copy all of Gu's mansion.

The formerly glorious Gu Mansion could be regarded as relatives of the emperor, but now they are paraded through the streets towards the prison by the imperial army, and they are directly convicted without interrogation.

Whether it is a man or a woman, most of them have already fallen asleep at this time, Zeng Shuo was tied up and left without looking at their faces, and Gu Changfeng was dragged out like this without even putting on a piece of cloth. Maybe he will lose face after being released, but since Zeng Shuo is so shameless, everyone will guess that this is Mu Ting's order.

The Gu family has always regarded itself as a famous official, and there is no luxury in the house, but when the Gu family was searched, Zeng Shuo was shocked, not to mention that the Gu family found more than a dozen secret roads, some directly outside the city, and some directly to the of the palace.

In addition, countless secret rooms were found. In the courtyard where Gu Qinglin lived alone, apart from the secret room where gold and silver treasures were hidden, there was also a room where young girls were imprisoned, and these young girls were not given a fig leaf. It was only after interrogation that I found out that these girls are all toys for Gu Qinglin to vent his anger and desire. When they get tired of playing with them, they will be rewarded to their subordinates, and the final ending is only one word-death!

The Gu family has four sons in total, and it is right that there is a small amount of money hidden in the other three yards, but the treasure found in Gu Changqing's yard is more abundant than the treasury, and the underground secret road is likely to lead to the city. Outside, only one is leading to the palace.

While asking his subordinates to investigate through various exits of the secret passage, Zeng Shuo went back to the palace to report the matter to Mu Ting before he had time to count his belongings.

"Give me a thorough investigation of Weiyang Palace, Lenggong, and the Royal Hospital." Mu Ting gave the order in a cold voice. When he thought of someone digging so many secret ways under the palace, Mu Ting felt chills down his spine. Who was behind him in his sleep? He didn't even know he had a sword stabbed in his back, it was simply terrifying.

The reason for the thorough investigation of Weiyang Palace and Leng Palace was because Gu Ling was there. As for the imperial hospital, it was because during the detailed investigation before, it was found that the friendship between Li Yuyi and the Gu family was too unusual. In fact, Mu Ting suspected it when Gu Ling pretended to be pregnant. Doctor Li, but at that time there was no time to check his details.

At this time, in the cold palace, Gu Ling was in a corner of the dilapidated bed, looking at the man who appeared in front of her with a look of defense. The bamboo chopsticks she got from somewhere in her hand were her weapons to protect herself.

"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of me. This is the last chance I will give you. After you kill Mu Ting, you will leave this secret path. I will arrange for you to escape." Gu Changqing said with a gloomy face, and moved a Bao Yaofeng threw it to Gu Ling's side, and said coldly: "Father has trained you for so long, all he wants is that you can be used by him, if you are still so useless, there shouldn't be a place for you in the cold palace. "

"He won't see me. Why do you guys force me when you know he won't see me? Do you want me to die?" Gu Ling shouted tremblingly, tears couldn't stop flowing, but Gu Changqing didn't Moved by it.

"Your heart disease needs the pills sent by your father every month to continue your life. Isn't there a few days in this month?" Gu Changqing snorted coldly, ignored Gu Ling who was madly trying to rush over, and turned to enter the secret road Then speed up and leave.

As for Gu Ling's choice, Gu Changqing was not worried at all. The Gu family were all selfish by nature, and this Gu Ling was the most among them, otherwise he would not have ended up today.
